While the positive relationship between plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF)
is well established, the extent to which this is mediated via belowground microbial …

The global biodiversity crisis has stimulated decades of research on three themes: species
coexistence, biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships (BEF), and biodiversity …

The impact of local biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning is well established, but the
role of larger-scale biodiversity dynamics in the delivery of ecosystem services remains …

Abstract In the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, large knowledge gaps
persist on how to increase biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in cash crop-dominated …

Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally.
Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for …

Forest restoration increases global forest area and ecosystem services such as primary
productivity and carbon storage. How tree species functional composition impacts the …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that biodiversity drives ecosystem functioning, yet
how biodiversity loss alters ecosystems functioning and stability in the long-term lacks …

Our current, empirical understanding of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem
function is based on two information sources. First, controlled experiments which show …

Decades of theory and empirical studies have demonstrated links between biodiversity and
ecosystem functioning, yet the putative processes that underlie these patterns remain …

Plant–soil feedback (PSF) and diversity–productivity relationships are important research
fields to study drivers and consequences of changes in plant biodiversity. While studies …
